stylist

Amy Hayes started in the industry in 2010. Since then, she has developed a passion for color transformations and color corrections. “My favorite thing about a color correction or a color transformation is keeping the hair healthy while giving my client a different look. Many times I have had a guest come in with a color they don’t love and are wanting to change. The integrity of the hair has been compromised, and we work towards giving the client their desired color, while making sure we do not further damage the cuticle.” In 2014, Amy married her best friend, Dan, and since then they have acquired two wonderful dogs named Chole, who is eight and full of sass, and their newest addition, Samson, who is one.

Katie Bellmeyer

stylist

Katie has been doing hair since 2007 and she still loves how it makes her feel today. “Doing hair makes me feel creative and allows me to release my artistic energy. I’ve always been into art, and was going to major in that in college, until I got my hair done by a new hairstylist who gave me the best haircut and color I had ever had. I changed my major and started doing hair because I loved how it made me feel.” Katie is very skilled in working with gray or white hair, especially when someone wants to switch from coloring every six weeks to a low maintenance touch up. “I strive to create cuts to enhance my clients’ features. Whether one's personal taste is bold, blunt, soft or disheveled, I believe that hair is meant to be enjoyed. I enjoy all lengths and textures of hair, taking into account the client’s natural texture, creating shapely haircuts so that you don’t have to work too hard at styling. My goal is to create a look that is unique to you.”
